God rest ye merry, gentleman ; let nothing you dismay. Remember, Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan's pow'r when we were gone a stray. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was born, And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn ; The which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scorn. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! From God our heav'nly Father, a blessed angel came ; And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same ; How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy!
